Keisuke, Thanks. I'll try on Monday. The text will likely never be more than 100 characters, so length is not really an issue.
I did some quick testing - and it must be the encrypt/decrypt process, and Text to blob -> blob to text did not add the extra characters. Also - I will have to check the docs, but the text is a field rather then a variable, so I do not know if Variable to blob work in that situation. I could create a local text copy and then Variable to Blob...
